The project begun in 2000 to compile a dictionary of homeopathic physicians identifiable in German-speaking areas since the 1820s has been completed. It is entitled “Lexikon deutschsprachiger Homöopathen” [Dictionary of German-speaking homeopaths] (171pp.) and is published by Karl F. Haug Verlag. In addition to the dates of birth and death (with respective places), each physician is presented in a brief biography. There are also literature references and bibliographical details. The main sources were well-known German-language homeopathic journals and a selection from the specialised literature.

Current project: Analysis of homeopathic journals with reference to aspects of medical history.
